<h1>Printing a report as a PDF</h1>
<p class="whs1">The PDF Options page lets you set defaults 
 for printing reports in PDF format. For example, if most of your reports 
 are exported in landscape orientation, you can set your export default 
 to landscape so you don't have to select this each time you export.</p>
<h3>Prerequisites</h3>
<ul type="disc" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>You must select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use 
 PDF for printing report </B></span>option in the Preferences section of MicroStrategy 
 Web. See this option in 
<a href="General_preferences.htm">General preferences</a> 
 for more information. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a report, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Home </B></span><span>and 
 then </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print</B></span><span>. The PDF 
 Options window opens. </span></p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Export</B></span>: From 
 the drop-down list, select either <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Whole 
 report </B></span>or<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> Portion displayed only</B></span> 
 to choose to export either the entire report or only the portion of your 
 report displayed in your browser. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Page Header and Footer</B></span>: 
 You can use headers and footers saved as part of the report settings or 
 use a customized header and footer on all your reports. Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Edit 
 Custom Settings</B></span> to access the Header/Footer Editor. You can specify 
 what text to print in the left, center, and right portions of the page's 
 header and footer. <span style="margin-left: 40px;">You can simply type 
 this text or insert fields specific to the report by choosing macros from 
 the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; margin-left: 40px;"><B>Insert 
 Auto-text </B></span><span style="margin-left: 40px;">drop-down list at the 
 top of the page. </span></p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report Header: </B></span>Click 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Edit Custom Settings</B></span> to access 
 the Header/Footer Editor and specify the text to print in the report header. 
 T<span style="margin-left: 40px;">ype this text in the box or choose auto 
 text from the drop-down box to the upper left.</span></p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs3"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Scaling</B></span>: 
 Adjust the amount of the report's content (and thus, the size of the font) 
 that prints on a page from the following scaling options:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs4">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Adjust font to 
 __% of original size</B></span><span>:</span> Manually set the percent to 
 adjust the font on a page. </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Fit to __ page(s) 
 wide by __ tall</B></span> (only visible if PDF printing is disabled): &nbsp;Specify 
 the page dimensions to which the contents will be fit. &nbsp;</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Orientation</B></span>: 
 Print reports in either <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Portrait</B></span> 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Landscape</B></span> format. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print cover page</B></span>: 
 Determine whether a cover page is printed and select one of the following 
 to determine which details are printed:</p></li>
	<ul type="square" class="whs4">
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>With Filter Details</B></span>: 
 Print the filter details of a report on a separate page. The filter details 
 are placed before the contents of the report.</p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>With Report Details</B></span>: 
 Print the report details of a report on a separate page. The report details 
 are placed before the contents of the report. </p></li>
		
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Cover page location</B></span>: 
 Determine whether the cover page is placed before or after the report.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ul>
<p>Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show advanced options </B></span><span>to 
 access the following options:</span></p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Paper size</B></span><span>: 
 Select</span> the paper size on which to print a report. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Maximum header/footer 
 size (</B></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><I><B>Inches</B></I></span><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>)</B></span><span>: S</span>et the size at which 
 the report header and footer can be overwritten. If the header or footer 
 is larger than its maximum size and the report must use the space to display 
 its content, the header or footer is cut off by the report content. If 
 the report does not use the space, the entire header or footer is displayed, 
 regardless of size. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Embed fonts</B></span>: 
 Determine if you want to use the original fonts chosen in the Document 
 Editor to display and print the PDF, even on machines that do not have 
 those fonts installed. This ensures the portability of the PDF. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs2">
	
<li style="margin-left: -20px;" class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Do 
 not prompt me again</B></span>: Determine whether you would like to be prompted 
 with the Export Option dialog box the next time that you want to export. 
 If you select options that you will use each time you export the report, 
 then you can clear the box to save the settings and not be prompted to 
 answer them again. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Export</B></span><span>. </span></p>
